    Summary

    Fourteen-year-old Marinette had imagined every detail of her future with Adrien: a loving family, a picture-perfect wedding, and endless sun-soaked afternoons. In her mind, their love was eternal, shining brighter than any star in the night sky.

    But even the most beautiful stars eventually burn out.

    Thirteen years later, as Adrien knelt, proclaiming his love for the whole world to hear, Marinette blinked away her tears and forced a smile. The love and happiness she had once dreamed of were now within reach for him…

    Just not with her.

    Summary

    Paris had fallen. The City of Lights was now a city of silence and shadows, gripped by Monarch’s control. Hope was a fragile ember, barely burning.
    No one had seen Adrien Agreste since the fall.
    But Chat Noir still moved through the ruins — silent, torn, and unrelenting.
    Every day, he brought her food, water, and medicine, whatever she needed. Every night, he checked the traps, scanned the perimeter, watching for Monarch’s soldiers. They said Ladybug was dead. They broadcast her face. Stripped her of one earring.
    They said Marinette Dupain-Cheng was gone.
    But Adrien knew better. She was here. Alive. Weak, but fighting.
    And so he fought too.
    He smiled for her. Spoke gently, like the world outside wasn’t burning. She always managed a smile, even when it hurt.
    What he didn’t say: that he hadn’t slept in days. That every time he closed his eyes, he saw his father’s face behind the mask. That the weight of every mistake pressed like iron against his ribs.
    But he bore it. For her.

     

    Set a year and half after Deflagration, Monarch has taken control of Paris.

    Summary

    Ladybug dies taking down Monarch. Or does she? Five years later, Chat Noir is still looking for her.

    As he unravels this mystery, Marinette Dupain-Cheng reappears. So does a new butterfly-themed supervillain.

    ~~~~

    “But if you don’t show up,” Ladybug says from atop the railing as she prepares to fly away, twisting to see him, “I won’t wait, I will do it alone.”

    "Then I won't be late."

    She didn't say anything afterwards, maybe she sensed what the future would bring, maybe she was just tired of him. All Chat Noir knows is that in the blink of an eye she was gone.

    And when tomorrow started, she was dead.
